Closed and Complete MEGA SWAP *Wizard of OZ**Nightmare Before X-Mas**Alice in

Wizard of OZNightmare Before ChristmasAlice in Wonderland

***WELCOME TO The MEGA SWAP!!***

For those of you who've joined in my swaps before, you know these are my FAV movies and some of my FAV characters!! With that being said I couldn't help but get a MEGA SWAP going to put all these wonderful characters and themes together for us to swap in ONE place!! You save on postage and get MEGA creative all in one place!!!

WARNING:This could be extremely addictive for your creative muse!! You may become too creative for others around you!! Prepare yourself!! For this is going to be an EPIC MEGA SWAP!!!!!!!!

Let's waste no more time!! Here's the DEETS:

DUE DATE: These must be POSTMARKED monday OCTOBER 7th (USA) ((( September 30th for International)) They are due to me OCTOBER 11th. Any that arrive with a postmark after the 7th (((30th for International))) won't be swapped. I just feel this is fair all around. So you have a postmark date and a due date....so no "I'm late I'm late " will be accepted instead it will be "off with your head"....well not really...but you won't be swapped and I'll be really sad :(

Send in 3 get 3 in return
--your hostess is participating!! (but if you want to make an extra for me I'd be OOOOO so happy!!!:)

You can join in as many groups and sizes as you can make!! You can sign up as many times in each group (but you may get some of yours back if we don't get enough participants in that group) There's no limit!

There will be many sizes to choose from for you to create your masterpiece! I'll be sure to put the size guidelines down by each group. There are really no wrong or right shapes as far as I'm concerned...feel free to experiment!

You can choose to do ANY characters you wish in any themed group
ANY character can be used by anyone and reused...I won't be assigning charactersYou can choose to do QUOTES or SAYINGS instead of pics for your theme.
ANY Quote or saying can be used by anyone and reused...again won't be assigningYou can use ANY media you wish for these as long as they are 2 layers thick

NO Vendor requirements--I do ask you make things at least 2 layers thick--no flimsy paper please!

LABELING:For each themed group you sign up for please place them in a different plastic baggy. (example: if you sign up for Wizard of OZ inchies label outside of bag with "Wizard of OZ Inchies by _____". ) This will help me know which group you signed up for when swapping. I'll be making swap cards for each group on who sends in what....I know some of us forget to put our names on things (guilty!) so this way everyone will get credit!! You are welcome to make individual baggies for each thing you send in but make sure they all go into one baggy per group you send in for.

SHIPPING:As most of you know I accept Paypal for paying for your shipping costs. I get a discount on shipping that I pass right on to you. Make sure you have a paypal balance so you won't get fees on there. Just pm me for my email addie. I also accept cash and can print a paypal label for you--which will save you $$ (new thing--if I owe you coins I will either send it back in stamps or compensate with goodies--no since in adding extra cost!) and of course stamps are always welcome--send as many as it took to ship and include a few extra--you just never know what you'll get in these swaps!!! I'll return anything that's not used :)

Anyone who sent in stamps I stamped your packages and shipped them out for everyone else here are your

so, I feel silly asking this question but am entirely drawn in by the "nightmare" idea. To say I love Jack and his whole crew would underestimate my not-so-secret cartoon affair.

What kind of images are acceptable for these creations? The only thing I can think of is printing colour images from a computer. Am I missing something?

OOOoooo I highly recommend printing your pics from offline...I can give you all kinds of links if you don't already have some....you can print on photo paper, regular paper, or cardstock and then mount them onto your base and that would give you 2 layers.....

I will look through them and then sign up for something (or somethings) :D

some "Nightmare" images to get you inspired----warning: they are all wonderfully scary!!

Oooh, interesting..... The ABAC groups are intriguing to me, esp Wiz and Alice. I'm subbing for now, won't be able to commit until I see where I am in September with the house closing and moving in, etc. But thanks for including me on the invite!

I have been agonizing over my altered container swap... So glad for the extra time! I have 2 of 3 done, and while I'm happy with them, I sense there is some higher level of perfection that I simply cannot pin down...

I stare at them and talk to them, but alas, they will not answer me. *sigh*

lol!
(this is what happens when I craft instead of sleep... tee hee!)
